COMMENTS: Just received this yesterday and couldn't wait to try it, wow, so nice! I made some spa bars for my co-workers using rose clay and small pink salt as first layer then topped with with layer of Shea M&P mixed with finely ground oatmeal. I used a customer blend of sandalwood, vanilla, english rose and a dash of cedar - it is dreamy smelling all poured into a lovely hibiscus tray mold. These bars are stunning! The soap is so creamy with great lather - very happy, my co-workers will be thrilled! Thanks WSP for a quality product

COMMENTS: I love this soap base! It's great as a base or as a stand alone product. The lather is full and rich with nice tight bubbles and the shea butter gives it an amazing fresh, clean scent.It is a little big to lift up to cut though. I ended up having to carve most of my pieces off with it on the floor, would be better if it was made up of smaller pieces but all in all I'll definitely be ordering this again.

COMMENTS: After mixing this soap base with too much shea butter and coconut oil I thought to myself oh well what a waste...boy was I wrong! I love this creamy soap; it is gentle yet cleansing and very easy to work with. I generally don't make soap as there are so many beautiful ones out there and I don't have the patience of some soap artists but I will definitely be making this again! I love that there is no smell or color really so I can add my own.

COMMENTS: The best thing about this soap base is the packaging. I love that I can safely store unused product and come back to it later in the same condition that I left it. I made a few bars of this soap to test against other bases and it is truly low sweat. It only showed light fingerprints which is a lot better than the slime I got on the other bars.

"Shea Butter Base"

COMMENTS: I started out with the 3 Butter Base, Mango/Coconut/Shea butters, but this one ended up being better for me. It was just as easy to use as the 3 butter base but the scent of the base out of the package was very subtle compared to the 3 Butter, and it didn't affect my scent oils like the 3 Butter Base did. Both are good, but I like this one a little more.

COMMENTS: This is one of my favorite melt and pour bases. It is very easy to work with and readily takes color, additives, and fragrance oils. The Shea butter leaves the skin feeling supple and hydrated. It doesn't produce a great deal of lather but I tend to add additional oils to my soaps so I'm sure that affects that aspect. Over all, I highly recommend this base to produce wonderful, pampering soaps.

"By far the best."

COMMENTS: Until recently I had never used any product other than WSP bases. Needing only a few pounds of base for an upcoming craft show, being on a tight budget and not meeting WSP minimum order requirements, I ordered from another large supplier. Never Again! First thing I noticed was bubbles forming while melting. When I started to use it I really regretted my purchase. The base cooled much too quickly forming skims on my cup and making it impossible to pour two bases at a time in order to obtain the beautiful swirl I was Always able to obtain with WSP.

"Good base!!!"

COMMENTS: Compared to other bases I've bought this is really good! It doesn't skin over quickly compared to other bases I've tried in the past, so you have alot of time to work with it. My only complaint is I'm not getting alot of lather and secondly its a little difficult to unmold when first opening the tray. Other than that its great!!! I will be buying more!!! Also there is hardly any to no smell at all.

"Nice base"

COMMENTS: This base is slightly harder and has a higher melt point than the Pro Base and Goat's Milk base. More moisturizing than both those bases as well, I am pleased. You have to make sure you put in enough fragrance or EO to mask the base scent (which is not bad a bad smell, but I'm sure you'd rather smell fragrance than base when you're using the soap).

COMMENTS: This soap base is the best one I have come across. I have a lot of requests for this from people with sensitive skin. This is the only soap that my husband will use - store bought soap, even the sensitive skin type, dries him out but not this one! Takes any scent well and lasts longer than your average soap. Top Notch!!

"Disappointment...then....Happiness"

COMMENTS: Like another reviewer stated, you have to choose your fragrance carefully. Choose oils carefully, they need to cover the soap base scent. Use too much and the soap doesn't produce as much lather. If you use a strong smelling essential oil, the soap will turn out wonderful with a rich thick lather.

"Almost Perfect"

COMMENTS: Couldn't wait to try this soap after reading all the wonderful feedback. It lost one star by feeling a little sticky and soft even after adding stearic acid. Felt great on the skin and rinsed clean. Company Note: You should not add stearic to this soap....it will change the texture and may feel a little sticky.

"Made my hands feel like velvet"

COMMENTS: While making a few batches of soap with this base, I washed out the glass bowl I use between batches, and the residue from the bowl covered my hands. My hands actually felt like they had had a salon parafin treatment after that! Instead of being dry and "prune-y", my hands were soft and silky feeling. I now use this as my face soap, too. Fabulous!

"Nice base, choose fragrances well"

COMMENTS: I really like this base alot. It lathers well, is smooth, creamy, and sets quickly. The only reason I have to give it a 4 instead of a 5 is that some scents aren't strong enough to cover the smell of the base. I've used 2x as much fragrance for some scents, and that works. Other fragrances still don't cooperate. If you have the patience to tweak your recipie a couple times over then you'll love it.

COMMENTS: This is a really nice base. It holds scent well, and foams up really nicely. My husband always insists I make him peppermint bars with this base.

WSP Questions And Answers

"I am looking for a low sweat melt and pour Shea butter base. Is this considered a low sweat soap? "

Staff Answer
Our soap bases do not sweat normally unless you are in a hot and humid climate. If you live in this climate, you may want to add stearic acid to your Premium Shea Butter MP soap base to give you a harder bar with less chance of sweating.

"Could I possibly use this for lotions or for anything relating to hair products? I am not sure what the difference is between this and regular shea butter. Could this be a better option because it could be less perishable than regular shea butter?"

Staff Answer
Won,Shea Butter is perfect for products such as lotions, cold process soaps, bath fizzies and lip balms. The Premium Shea Butter MP Soap Base is best used for melt and pour soap making products. It is soap that contains Shea in it versus the Shea Butter is straight butter. It sounds like Shea Butter is what you need for your projects.

"I made some soaps and wrapped them as soon as I took them out of the molds. They have been wrapped for a few months and have developed what looks like crystals around the edges of of the molded shapes. Why is this happening? Did I do something wrong?"

Staff Answer
The crystals you see are most likely glycerin dew. MP soap bases have a high content of glycerin wich is a humectant (it draws moisture from the air to itself). If your soaps are not wrapped so that they are completely air tight or if air is trapped inside your packaging then you will see this glycerin dew forming on the soaps. I would recommend using a shrink wrap bag to get a better fit on detailed or designed soaps.

Staff Answer
Sometimes glycerin is part of the formula and is noted in the ingredient list. Other times, glycerin is not part of the formulation and instead is a natural occurring byproduct of the saponification process. Melt and pour soap can sweat for other reasons, such as overheating which causes water evaporation and a water imbalance with other ingredients.

Any good soap will have glycerin as a component even if it is not added manually. The glycerin will draw moisture out of the air and onto the soap producing sweat. To prevent this I have found that if it is wrapped as soon as it is cut this will not happen.
